The blade light was like lightning, blazing, violent, and domineering. It swept across in an instant, filling up the area and swallowing Chen Zong.
If it was a normal Extreme Sixth Stage Human Realm, even if he wasn't killed, he would be injured and his power would decrease. However, Chen Zong's power wasn't something a normal Extreme Sixth Stage Human Realm warrior could compare with.
Within the lightning-like blade light, a crimson red sword light flashed and slashed across, splitting the blade light in half. It then shot back like a hot knife through butter.
The crimson red sword light emitted a scorching heat, boiling the air like water. Fourth Master Han's face turned pale. This sword made him feel an intense sense of danger. Before the sword light even reached him, he already felt like he was going to be split in half.
Without any hesitation, Fourth Master Han crushed the Demonic Pill in his mouth.
The moment the Demonic Transformation Pill entered his mouth, a terrifying black aura exploded out of Fourth Master Han's body with a loud bang. It surged out in all directions like a monstrous wave, wave after wave, as if it was endless.
Wave after wave of black waves were split by the crimson red sword light. However, there were too many black waves, and they kept weakening the crimson red sword light.
Within the black waves, Fourth Master Han's body seemed to be swallowed. Only the rolling black aura was emitting a shocking wave.
Dark, cold, domineering, destructive …
"Demonic Qi wave …"
"Fourth Master Han actually took the Demonic Pill."
"Demonic Pill!"
Around them, the Demon Hunters realized what was happening and their expressions changed.
The Demonic Pill was a type of pill created by a Master Alchemist. It was used as a last resort in a battle between Demon Hunters and underground demons. The side effects were severe.
Under normal circumstances, no one would be willing to take the Demonic Pill.
Fourth Master Han was crazy to take the pill.
"Demonic Pill …" Chen Zong heard the Demon Hunters exclaim. He was a bit confused, but he knew that it wasn't something good.
At this moment, Fourth Master Han was surrounded by the black aura, which was very similar to that of demons.
Roar …
A loud roar came from the black aura. Layers of sound waves rolled out, and a black hurricane roared.
The black aura quickly shrunk and covered Fourth Master Han's body. Fourth Master Han's body was faintly discernible. His face seemed paler, and his eyes were deeper. He looked even more terrifying.
"Die!"
Before Chen Zong could carefully observe his opponent, Fourth Master Han, who had consumed the Demonic Extermination Pill, attacked again. He instantly slashed out with his blade, which was also covered by a black aura. It was extremely eerie, and the blade was like a black thunderbolt that pierced through the air.
With a boom, it was violent and overbearing, its power unparalleled.
The power of this slash was even stronger than Fourth Master Han's previous slashes.
After consuming the Demonic Extermination Pill, Fourth Master Han's strength skyrocketed.
This strike was just the beginning.
Boom! Boom!
The broadsword, which was wrapped in black Qi, slashed again and again. It was as if a huge wave was crashing down on Chen Zong. The power of each slash was terrifying and could easily kill an ordinary Extreme Sixth Tier Human Realm warrior.
"Brother Chen …" Hua Wenjun and Hua Wenqing clenched their fists in worry.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Fourth Master Han's rationality was gradually affected by the power of the Demonic Extermination Pill. He became violent, and his heart was filled with killing intent. There was only one thought in his mind, and that was to kill Chen Zong in front of him.
After consuming the Demonic Extermination Pill, one's strength skyrocketed, and one would become extremely violent and fearless. The longer one consumed the pill, the greater the increase in strength, but the more serious the corrosion would be. In the end, one would completely lose their consciousness.
In other words, after consuming the Demonic Extermination Pill for a long time, one would become inhuman, similar to a demon or a demon. One would become a powerful and bloodthirsty demon.
Chen Zong shattered the black blade light one after another, but he could clearly feel that the power of each subsequent slash was increasing.
On one hand, he was curious about what the Demonic Extermination Pill was and how it could increase Fourth Master Han's strength by so much. On the other hand, he didn't want to continue the battle. He wanted to end it as soon as possible to avoid any unnecessary changes.
With this thought, Chen Zong's body flashed and disappeared under the increasingly violent black blade light of Fourth Master Han.
With Fourth Master Han's remaining rationality, he couldn't dodge in time. The crimson sword light flashed in front of him, and as if it was following the gaps between the blade light, it was extremely light, agile, and sharp.
Duan Tianchou spun the two blood-red balls covered in spikes in his left hand as he stared at the battle between Fourth Master Han and Chen Zong. Chen Zong's sudden burst of power made Duan Tianchou's heart skip a beat.
In the next moment, Fourth Master Han's blade light stopped. With the blade in his hand, he couldn't move at all, as if he had been immobilized. With a sizzling sound, a stream of blood spurted out from his throat like an arrow shot from a bow. It flew for more than ten meters before falling to the ground.
As the blood spurted out, Fourth Master Han's violent, domineering, and cold aura quickly weakened. The black color disappeared, revealing Fourth Master Han's pale face and dim eyes.
Finally, he looked at Chen Zong. That look was filled with regret, fear, and other complicated emotions.
How good would it be if he hadn't provoked the other party so recklessly back then?
However, there were no ifs, and there was no medicine for regret.
Kacha!
At the moment of Fourth Master Han's death, Duan Tianchou crushed the two blood-red balls covered in spikes in his left hand. The tyrannical power crushed them into powder, and they fell down from his fingers.
With a gloomy expression, his eyes flashed with an incomparably fierce killing intent. Immediately, Chen Zong's whole body tensed up, and his scalp went numb. Following that gaze, he happened to see Duan Tianchou turn around and leave in large strides.
Retracting his gaze, Chen Zong was prepared to face the 10,000-strong Demon Hunt Squad from the moment he decided to kill Fourth Master Han.
Speaking of which, regardless of whether he killed Fourth Master Han or not, the other party wouldn't leave the matter at that. It would be better to eliminate the other party's strength as much as possible.
Thinking of this, Chen Zong collected Fourth Master Han's blade and mustard seed bag. These were his spoils of war.
The surrounding Demon Hunters all looked at Chen Zong with eyes full of astonishment.
It was obvious that everyone could feel Chen Zong's aura. He was only at the fourth level of the Extreme Realm of the Mortal Realm, but he was able to kill Fourth Master Han, who was at the fifth level of the Extreme Realm of the Mortal Realm and had taken the Demon-Melting Pill. This meant that Chen Zong either had an extraordinary background or had received an extraordinary inheritance.
Many people's thoughts began to move.
"Brother Chen, you're really powerful," Seeing Chen Zong kill Fourth Master Han, Hua Wenjun let out a sigh of relief, and said with a smile.
Chen Zong only smiled faintly. He was only at the fifth layer of the human realm. Even if he had taken a Demonic Transformation Pill, he still didn't have the qualifications to be his opponent.
Hua Wenqing looked at Chen Zong with a smile on his face, feeling extremely astonished.
Originally, he thought that Chen Zong was stronger than his elder brother, but not by much. But now, it seemed that he was clearly much stronger.
"Brother Chen, why don't we find a good Demon Hunt Squad to join?" Hua Wenjun suggested.
"Brother Hua, do you have a target in mind?" Chen Zong asked back.
"I found a few, we can give it a try." Hua Wenjun said with a smile. He had always liked to do things prepared and planned.
Hua Wenjun had found four Demon Hunt Squads, three of which were soldier grade Demon Hunt Squads, and one of which was general grade.
Although the three soldier grade Demon Hunt Squads were not as powerful as the general grade, they could be classified as Demon Hunt Squads with good prospects for development. And the general grade Demon Hunt Squad could also be considered pretty good.
But unexpectedly, his application was rejected.
"They actually rejected brother Chen." Hua Wenjun wrinkled his brows. He looked like a gentle person, but had an unyielding character. He was also quite confident in himself, and could be called a top genius. But that Chen Zong was not inferior to him, and even surpassed him. Such a person was someone most Demon Hunt Squads would be willing to recruit. He didn't expect that the three soldier grade Demon Hunt Squads would directly reject him, while the general grade Demon Hunt Squad accepted Hua Wenjun and his sister's application, but rejected Chen Zong's.
"Brother, I'm afraid that they don't wish to provoke the 10,000 Heavy Demon Hunt Squad." Hua Wenqing wrinkled his brows.
Under normal circumstances, if a newly promoted Demon Hunter displayed outstanding strength, the Demon Hunt Squads would fight over him to invite him to join. But no one came to invite Chen Zong.
Just as Hua Wenqing said.
The reason was very simple: the 10,000 Heavy Demon Hunt Squad was one of the more powerful Demon Hunt Squads in the Demon Suppressing Fortress. If they recruited Chen Zong, it would be tantamount to standing on the opposite side of the 10,000 Heavy Demon Hunt Squad.
The majority of Demon Hunters understood very clearly that they shouldn't rashly make enemies with others. Maybe a weak person today might surpass them in the future.
This was a kind of cautiousness. Of course, not all Demon Hunters would think this way. For example, Fourth Grandfather Han, who was now dead.
The 10,000 Heavy Demon Hunt Squad was a general grade Demon Hunt Squad. Among the thirty or so general grade Demon Hunt Squads, they could be considered among the top ten. Naturally, the soldier grade Demon Hunt Squads wouldn't dare become enemies with them, and the majority of general grade Demon Hunt Squads wouldn't be willing to make such a powerful enemy for no reason. As for monarch grade Demon Hunt Squads, every one of them was extremely powerful, and didn't need to put the 10,000 Heavy Demon Hunt Squad in their eyes.
However, for today's battle, even the general grade Demon Hunt Squads didn't come, to say nothing of monarch grade Demon Hunt Squads.
Furthermore, monarch grade Demon Hunt Squads were powerful, and had a deep foundation. They wouldn't necessarily take a fancy to Chen Zong, who was hiding his strength.
"If you don't want to, then forget it." Chen Zong said with an unconcerned smile, "Being a freelance Demon Hunter isn't bad either."
"Okay, then let's be freelance Demon Hunters." Hua Wenjun said with a smile.
"That won't do. Brother Hua, since that general grade Demon Hunt Squad is willing to recruit you, you'd better bring Wenqing with you." Chen Zong replied with a smile, "No need to worry about me. Killing Fourth Master Han wasn't my full strength. Moreover, in this Demon Suppressing Fortress, I also have a senior brother from my Sect."
The senior brother Chen Zong spoke of wasn't the senior brother of the Extreme Yuan Heavenly Sect, but a genuine senior brother. The head disciple of the Blue Feather Mountain Lord, Tang Guao, was his own senior brother.
According to his master, his senior brother Tang Guao was in charge of the Earth Demon Abyss all year round, and should be in this Demon Suppressing Fortress. However, ever since Chen Zong became the disciple of the Blue Feather Mountain Lord, Tang Guao had yet to return to his Sect. And with the Blue Feather Mountain Lord injured and the whereabouts of his second senior brother Feng Shigui unknown, Chen Zong had no way to get in touch with Tang Guao directly.
But then again, Chen Zong didn't care too much about this. If he could get in touch with him, then so be it, but if he couldn't, then so be it.
